AN ECO PAINTER

I’m an abstract expressionist eco-painter and educator from Aotearoa, exploring the energy, emotions, and sensations of the mind and body through the lens of nature. Using sustainably sourced, non-toxic, archival-quality earth pigments, I create dreamlike mindscapes in nature’s hues—celebrating intuition and process, inviting you to transcend, heal, and reconnect.

With over three decades in design—including eight formative years in Florence, Italy—I’ve worked across graphic and textile design, collaborating with brands like Citta Design. That experience now weaves into my painting practice, where I explore the tension of duality through organic forms.

As an educator, I guide artists to reconnect with the hands-on process of making with earth pigments. My workshops encourage curiosity, sustainability, and an intuitive approach—refining traditional techniques for a more ethical, non-toxic future.

At the heart of it all, my work is about creating a space where art, nature, and intuition converge—offering a creative experience that is both deeply personal and universally felt.
